Creating a Nation Series: In the tumultuous period of American history following the Revolution, the young Country was becoming a Nation. This distinguished speaker series encourages a deeper understanding of our origins and identity.
Dr. Doug Bradburn, President and CEO of George Washington’s Mount Vernon and the former Founding Director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon, will discuss the significance of our shared democratic values and the enduring legacy of George Washington’s character and leadership, which are more relevant today than ever before. The precedents Washington established continue to provide essential guidance, offering valuable lessons for addressing the challenges of the modern world. In an era marked by declining civic knowledge, global threats to democracy, rising political division at home, and concerns about the future of the American experiment, the lessons and principles we can draw from George Washington’s example remain crucial. Dr. Bradburn will also provide updates from Mount Vernon, the most visited historic home in America.
Generously supported by Mr. & Mrs. Jack & Goldie Wolfe Miller, founders of the Jack Miller Center
